Getting your liquor licence is ridiculously easy in Dubai and it’s got so many benefits
The process is easier than ever before
Log onto MMI here and have the following ready to complete the process:
- Emirates ID
- Passport & Visa Copy
- Photograph
- There’s an AED100 discount off the yearly rate for anyone who applies online, for a limited time only!
Points to note: PREVIOUSLY, you needed to provide other docs, like salary certs, or tenancy contracts. But that’s all been wiped clean, ensuring the process is as smooth as possible for residents.
Also, residents of Dubai who have a visa from other Emirates only need to upload their tenancy contracts. You no longer need an NOC from the Emirate of where your visa is from.
Why do you need a liquor licence in Dubai?
Because you can shop for beverages as long as you are the owner of a valid liquor licence. So it’s pretty much a no-brainer.
